Driver freed on bail in fatal motorcycle crash in Carver

CARVER – Andrew Best, 26, of Carver posted $10,000 cash bail after his arraignment Monday morning, one day after he turned himself in to police in a fatal hit-and-run case.

Shane Reilly, 36, was killed in a motorcycle crash that occurred sometime before 1:32 a.m. Sunday, when authorities were called to the scene, said Trooper Christopher Hession of the State Police barracks in Norwell.

The crash occurred on Route 44 westbound near Spring Street in Carver. Reilly, a graduate of Silver Lake Regional High School in Kingston, was pronounced dead at the scene.

About 4 p.m. Sunday, Best, turned himself in to Carver police. He was arrested and later charged by the State Police with leaving the scene of a personal injury accident resulting in death and motor vehicle homicide by negligent operation.

He is next scheduled to appear in Wareham District Court on Aug. 29, and he may not operate a motor vehicle while out on bail.

Anyone with information on the Carver crash is urged to call state police at 781-659-7911.

Reilly’s family could not be reached for comment Sunday.

Carver police and Kingston fire and ambulance responded to assist state police on Sunday morning.

Reilly was the latest person to die in a motorcycle crash in the region in recent weeks.
